Cueto (elbow) extended his throwing distance to 90 feet Friday and is working toward being able to throw a live batting practice session within the next 10 days, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
It marked the second day in a row that the right-hander was able to extend his throwing distance. Given the obvious time restraints, it's very possible that Cueto doesn't return during the regular season, but if he is able to throw off a mound with some intensity soon, he should have a chance to contribute in some form during the playoffs.
